We take security seriously in the Leo project. The following versions are currently supported with security updates:
| Version | Supported |
|---|---|
| 0.1.x | ✅ |
If you discover a security vulnerability within Leo, please report it responsibly by following these steps:
- DO NOT create a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities
- Send an email to:
tuanleducanh78202(at)gmail.com - Include the following information:
- Description of the vulnerability
- Steps to reproduce the issue
- Potential impact assessment
- Suggested fix (if you have one)
- Acknowledgment: We will acknowledge receipt of your vulnerability report within 48 hours
- Assessment: We will assess the vulnerability and provide an initial response within 5 business days
- Updates: We will keep you informed of our progress throughout the investigation
- Resolution: We aim to resolve critical vulnerabilities within 30 days
- Credit: We will credit you in our security advisory (unless you prefer to remain anonymous)
- Database Security: MongoDB instances should be properly secured with authentication and network isolation
- API Security: FastAPI endpoints should implement proper authentication and rate limiting
- Container Security: Docker containers should run with minimal privileges and be regularly updated
- Environment Variables: Sensitive configuration should be stored securely using environment variables
- API Keys: All API keys (OpenAI, Google GenAI, AWS, etc.) must be stored securely and rotated regularly
- Data Encryption: Sensitive data should be encrypted at rest and in transit
- Access Control: Implement proper access controls for data and system resources
- Data Retention: Follow data retention policies and securely delete data when no longer needed
- Model Integrity: Ensure ML models are obtained from trusted sources and verify checksums
- Input Validation: Validate all inputs to prevent injection attacks
- Output Sanitization: Sanitize model outputs to prevent potential exploits
- Resource Limits: Implement resource limits to prevent resource exhaustion attacks
- CORS Configuration: Properly configure CORS settings for the frontend
- Input Validation: Validate all user inputs on both client and server side
- Authentication: Implement secure authentication mechanisms
- HTTPS: Always use HTTPS in production environments
- CSP Headers: Implement Content Security Policy headers
- Dependencies: Regularly update dependencies and monitor for known vulnerabilities
- Code Review: All code should be reviewed before merging
- Secret Management: Never commit secrets to version control
- Least Privilege: Run services with minimal required permissions
- Logging: Implement proper logging without exposing sensitive information
- Network Security: Use firewalls and network segmentation
- Monitoring: Implement security monitoring and alerting
- Backup: Maintain secure backups of critical data
- Updates: Keep all systems and dependencies updated
- Access Control: Implement proper access controls and regular access reviews
This project uses pre-commit hooks to catch security issues early:
- Code linting with Ruff
- Security scanning for common vulnerabilities
- Secrets detection
- Use
uvfor Python dependency management - Regular dependency updates via dependabot or similar tools
- Vulnerability scanning of dependencies
- Use minimal base images
- Run containers as non-root users
- Regularly update container images
- Scan images for vulnerabilities
In case of a security incident:
- Immediate Response: Isolate affected systems to prevent further damage
- Assessment: Assess the scope and impact of the incident
- Communication: Notify relevant stakeholders and users if necessary
- Recovery: Implement fixes and restore normal operations
- Post-Incident: Conduct a post-incident review and update security measures
- OWASP Top 10
- NIST Cybersecurity Framework
- Python Security Best Practices
- Docker Security Best Practices
This project aims to follow security best practices and may need to comply with:
- Data protection regulations (GDPR, CCPA, etc.)
- Industry-specific security standards
- Organizational security policies
For security-related questions or concerns:
- Email: tuanleducanh78202(at)gmail.com
- Please review our Code of Conduct for community guidelines
- Initial security policy established
- Basic security guidelines implemented
- Vulnerability reporting process defined
Note: This security policy is a living document and will be updated as the project evolves and new security considerations arise.
